Royal Madness

Chapter 3

(Joel's POV)

She was alive?!

"What the-"I couldn't even finish the sentence.

What. Is. Happening.

I thought she didn't survive the transformation but after what I witnessed im pretty sure she wasn't a regular human. She had to be something else but as far as I know two different species can't mix. So it is impossible to be a hybrid.

Something was wrong I just don't know what.

Slowly i approached her but stopped when their was a sickening crunch. I was trying to see if she was the one causing it but then i smelt them.

More vampires were coming this way. i had to get her out of here

i slowly tried to pick up her body. She was looking really sick which was normal for someone who is going through the transformation. What I didn't understand was that she started get these weird symbols in her hands that looked like tribal markings. They were blue and black swirls that went all the way up to her neck.

Every time I tried to touch her the symbols would glow and they would make my skin feel all tingly. It didn't hurt me but it just made me feel as if I had to touch her.

I would expect for me to try and suck her blood but to want to hold her forever was just ridiculous.

Hearing the vampires again I made a jump to a tree and began jumping from tree to tree. I was leading the vampires back to the hunters who were stupid enough to keep searching for me.

As we passed by the hunters I made sure the hunters saw me so they can be aware and keep searching. After running three rounds around the hunters I left.

I thought that when they smelt the hunters that the vampires would go after them but I was wrong. They just ran right passed them towards the direction I was going.

Okay time for Plan B. I was going to put the girl down by a rosemary bush that was near so her smell wouldn't be tracked and then I would run in another direction to lead them off.

So I did as planned I gently put the girl down and covered her with some rosemary and leaves. Then heading off to the right because they were coming in from the left.

As I ran off I heard there steps faltering. I turned around only to see that they were not following me. Why wouldn't—

That's when it all made sense they were going after the girl.

running back i made my way back to the girl.

I was about to get her when someone spoke behind me.

"We want the girl that was in the cave" said one of the vampires. He was tall with bright red hair that was combed nicely towards the back. He had a scar that ran from his cheek bone to his neck. I looked around to the other guys and noticed that they were all nicely dressed. They look like professionals but I knew better not to trust those around me.
